New Computer...upgrade to CE4?

filmbz-t · 2014-08-05 02:06:50

My website has scouting photos from many films over the years. They were built with various album makers and I do not want to redo them. My last film was Oblivion and I used CE 3 to do that film. I now have a new computer and a new film to do. I have not put CE3 on the new computer as I want to upgrade.
My site is http://www.michaeljohnmeehan.com and then click films. The oblivion page is linked from http://www.michaeljohnmeehan.com/films.html

Questions:

If I do not intend to go back and change the film done with CE3 do I need to put CE3 on the computer?
I assume I can do what was done before with just Gallery and Pages from CE4?
Can I use publisher to just build a series of pages and password them like I am creating a sub-web just for the new film? Hence, I can change pages and add pages from within Publisher? The section (call it Ben-Hur) would be linked to my main web via a page like Oblivion.

Thanks for your help. All the best.

if you're not planning on updating the galleries/albums created with CE3, then you don't need CE3 on the computer.

You can do what you did before with CE4 plug-ins. Just be careful not to mix things like Shared Resources and PHPlugins navigation or custom css between CE3 and CE4, you'll likely get some surprises.

Can I use publisher to just build a series of pages and password them like I am creating a sub-web just for the new film?

Sure. But it will depend on the site structure. Publisher relies on targeting a top-level galleries folder, typically the /galleries/ folder that's part of Pages. You can set up other instances of Publisher to target other folders, for instance, an entire folder dedicated to Ben-Hur. There you could publish Album Sets (autoindexes) and Albums: either CE3 Gallery or Stage
